Capua

Capua by Electimuss is an unisex extrait de parfum in the luxury price tier. It opens with elemi, bergamot, cypress and marigold, moves into cedarwood, cumin and cypriol and dries down to cedarwood, vetiver, amber and cashmere wood. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.

Notes, explained

Opening

Elemi Peppery resin with a lemon-pine lift. Bright and dry.
Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
Cypress Cool, green, resinous conifer. Sharp and clean.
Marigold Bitter, green and herbal. Nothing like the flower looks.

Heart

Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
Cumin Warm, spicy and unmistakably sweaty. Divides rooms.
Cypriol Also called nagarmotha. Smoky, leathery, earthy — a vetiver relative.

Dry-down

Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
Cashmere Wood Soft, fuzzy, slightly musky wood. Adds a blurred warmth.
